1. Object of Heigo Course 

The main purpose of the Heigo course is to give students at the 
Itilitary Intelligence Service Language School a fundamental military voca¬ 
bulary in both Japanese and English in order that they may read, -write, 
speak, and translate elementary military Japanese. In addition to this 
primary objective, the Heigo course attempts to give students a fundamen¬ 
tal knowledge of the subjects listed under paragraph 2 so that when these 
students graduate and go into the field they can assist their commanders 
in dealing with documents and all other matters which involve the use of 
the Japanese military terms. Finally, the Heigo course will correlate with, 
and review if necessary, the students 1 basic training on appropriate sub¬ 
jects concerning the United States Army in order that they will know an ap¬ 
propriate military term in English for every one they learn in Japanese. 

2. Subject matters to be covered 

It is true that the Japanese Army, Navy, and Air Forces have been 
demobilized in accordance with their acceptance of the Potsdam Proclamation. 
Furthermore, Japan has even renounced war as a means of settling disputes 
with other nations. However, no one can deny the fact that there are many 
problems yet to be solved which involve the use of the Japanese military 
terms. Some of these problems are listed below: 

a. Handling of the demobilized military personnel. 

b. Disposition of all war industries, military installations, and

CHAPTER 1 


THE HIGHER MILITARY ORGANIZATION OF JAPAN 


SECTION I 


GENERAL 


POSITION OF THE EMPEROR 


1* The old Japanese Constitution provided that the Emperor had the 
supreme command of the Army and Nary, and that he determined the organiza¬ 
tion and peace standing of the Army and Navy, and that he alone declared 
war, made peace, and concluded treaties. Nominally, the supreme command 
of the Army and Navy was exercised by the Emperor, through the Chiefs of the 
General Staffs of the Army and Nary, who were directly responsible to the 
Emperor; not through the Cabinet. The administration Qf the Army as op¬ 
posed to tactical command was exercised by the Emperor through the Mar 


Minister. 


GRAND IMPERIAL HEADQUARTERS 


2. The execution of war being in the hands of the military and naval 
authorities, upon declaration of war, the supreme command of the armed forces 
on land, sea, and in the air was directed from the Grand Imperial Headquar¬ 
ters, nominally under the personal command of the Emperor as Generalissimo. 
The Grand Imperial Headquarters, a purely wartime organization, consisted 
of the Board of Field Marshals and Fleet Admirals and the Supreme War Coun¬ 
cil, these two organizations being the Emperor 1 s highest advisory bodies on 

;

On the prefectural and local levels, the Eighth Army performs such 
military government activities as directed by SCAP. Annex No. 8 to Oper¬ 
ations Memorandum No. U, GHQ, 28 August 19h$, - delegates to Army and Corps,

CHAPTER 2 

ccnscripticn and training* 

SECTIQT I 
CCNSCRIPTICK 

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 

12, a. The system of compulsory military service in Japan was es¬ 
tablished' for the first time during the Taika Restoration, 6 I 4.6 A.D,, there¬ 
after undergoing many changes« It has greatly improved by the Taiho Or¬ 
der in 701 A.D., 'and the number of trained men in Japan in those days is 
said to have exceeded 100,000. A long period of peace then ensued, with 
the result that the law gradually dropped out of practice, and people came 
to be divided into two classes, namely: warriors on the one hand, and 
farmers cn the other. 

b. The law relating to military conscription-x- was issued in 1872 
A.D,, . the fifth year of Meiji, and became effective the following year* 
However, the law was amended to a great extent in 1927> the second year 
of Showa, and in the intervening years' up to the outbreak of Jorld Ear II, 
only minor amendments were made to this Conscription Law. 

UNIVERSAL MIL SERVICE 

13. According to the Conscription Law, all Japanese men between the 
ages of 17 and except those specifically exempted were subject to mi¬

those seeking a career in the array varied* Grammar school graduates en¬

MILITARY ACADEMY AIID PR5PAHAT QRx SCHOOL 
21* a. Ililitary Academy Preparatory School . Upon entering the Mi¬ 
litary Academy Preparatory School,, whether from the Junior Military School 

* 

or Middle School, the student completed the course Y/hich ran for tiro years* 
At the completion of the Preparatory School the s tudents were assign¬ 
ed to their branches of service and vrere assigned to regiments v/ithin their 
service to do six months of troop duty* 

b* Military Academy . They then returned and entered the Military 
Academy at Zama in Kanagavra Prefecture with the rank of sergeant* The 
course at the Military Academy ran for one year and eight months. At the 
termination of the Academy course they returned to their respective regi¬ 
ments for a four months period of troop duty as probationary officers al¬ 
though their ranks vrere those of sergeants* This period from about July 1 
to October 20th coincided v.ith the greatest outdoor field activity of the 
Japanese Army, and the probationary officers got a great deal of practi¬ 
cal experience as platoon leaders. In the latter part of October the pro¬ 
bationary officers vrere commissioned as second lieutenants* Since they 
were assigned to their branches comparatively early, and, 'before appoint¬ 
ment, had had a total of ten months troop duty all with their arm branch, 
by the time they were commissioned they were certainly splendidly trained, 
junior officers, although their general education had naturally suffered 
from the early concentration on military education*

CHAPTER 6 


DISARIIAM3NT AND DEMILITARIZATION 

The Potsdam' Declaration . • Paragraph (6)- of the Potsdam Declara¬ 
tion, defining terms for Japanese surrender, issued on 26 July \9h$ joint¬ 
ly by the President of the United States, the President, of the National- 
Government of the Republic of China,, and the Prime Minister of Great Bri¬ 
tain, states as follows: , .... 

"There must be eliminated for all time the authority and influence 
■of those who have deceived and. misled the. people of Japan .into embarking 
eh-world conquest, for .we insist that a new order of peace, security and 
-justice will be impossible until irresponsible militarism is driven from 
the world." 

Militarily, the .objective of the .Potsdam Declaration, therefore, is 
to prevent Japan from ever, again becoming .a menace, to the peace and se¬ 
curity of the world. 

1|6. White House. Statement on Occupation Policy in Japan . . The fol- 
‘•••lowing has been extracted from a .statement of general initial policy re¬ 
lating to Japan after surrender prepared jointly by the- Department of 
State, the War Department, and the Navy Department, and approved by the 
President on 6 September. 1 

"The ultimate objectives of the United States in regard to Japan, to 
which policies in the initial period must conform are: 

(a) To insure that Japan will not again become a menace to the 


- Ik - 






United States or to the peace and security of the world* 

(b) To bring about the eventual establishment of a peaceful and 
responsible Government....*. *••##. 

’’These objectives will be achieved by the following principal means: 

(a) ... Omitted. 

(b) Japan will be completely disarmed and demilitarized# The 
authority of the militarists and the influence of militarism will be to¬ 
tally eliminated from her political, economic and social life. Institu¬ 
tions expressive of the spirit of militarism and aggression will be vi¬ 
gorously suppressed*” 

(c) and (d) ... Omitted# 

’’Disarmament and demilitarization are the primary tasks of the mili¬ 
tary'occupation and shall be carried out promptly and with determination. 
Every effort shall be made to bring home to the Japanese people the part 
played by the military and naval leaders, and those who collaborated with 
them, in bringing about the existing and future distress of the people. 

- "Japan is.not to have an army, navy, air force, secret police organ¬ 
ization, or any civil aviation. Japan’s ground, air and naval forces 
shall be disarmed and disbanded and the Japanese Imperial General Head¬ 
quarters, .the General Staff and all secret police organizations shall be 
■dissolved. Military and naval material, military, naval and civilian air¬ 
craft shall be surrendered and shall be disposed of as required by the 
Supreme Commander. 

"High officials of the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters, and 


- 75 - 



) o 

General Staff, other high military and naval officials of the Japanese 
Government, leaders of ultra-nationalist and militarist organizations and 
other important exponents of militarism and aggression will he taken into 
custody and held for future disposition. 

"Persons who have been active exponents of militarism and militant 
nationalism will be removed and excluded from public office and from any 
other position of public or substantial private responsibility. Ultra- 
nationalistic or militaristic social, political, professional and commer¬ 
cial societies and institutions will be dissolved and prohibited. 

"Militarism and ultra-nationalism, in doctrine and practice, includ¬ 
ing para-military training, shall be eliminated from the educational sys- 
stem. Former career military and naval officers, both commissioned and 
non-commissioned, and all other exponents of militarism and ultra-nation¬ 
alism shall be excluded from supervisory and teaching positions." 

h7 • Departments for the Settlement of Unfinished Affairs . The Im¬ 
perial Ordinance No. 631 concerning the temporary establishment of various 
Departments for the Settlement of Unfinished Affairs was issued on 9 No¬ 
vember 19h5 and became effective on 15> November 19u5>» These Departments 
were charged* with the settlement of unfinished affairs resulting from the 
abolishment of various military units and were under the jurisdiction of 
the ITar Minister, who was authorized to dissolve the Departments as they 
complete the remaining affairs. 

Ij.8• Abrogation of Imperial Ordinances . The Imperial Ordinance No. 
632 , dated 13 November 19i*5, authorized the'Ministers concerned to
